Seargent Luke Romig and Private
Leonard Deitz, of Fort Russell, returned
from Bellevue, Neb., last evening. The
two gentlemen were contestants in the
department shooting tournament. Mr..
DeitE was declared the champion all
around shot of the department, while
Lieut.. Romig made an excellent record.
Private Deitz wears the handsome gold
medal which was pinned upon his breast
by Mrs. Senator Henderson. 1t is a
magnificent trophy, and the company,
the regiment, post, department and Fort
Russel's neighbor Cheyenne, are all Justly
proud of the expert marksman who wears
it. Mr.. Deitz has contested for the
medal every summer for the past four
years, and while always securing an ex-
cellent position in the list would be salts
fed with nothing short of first place.

Alderman Hammond informed the
meeting that the complement of boilers
at the city pump house was sadly in need
of repairs and suggested that while the
machinery was undergoing renovation the
Durant steamer be placed in working
order. The matter will be attended to by
the fire committee. While discussing
the subject Mayor Riner incidentally
mentioned that it would be advisable to
place still another boiler and pump at the
disposal of the city. The water com
mittee will investigate the matter.
The street and alley committee took
charge of the marshal's aeport to the
effect that property owners had failed to
lay sidewalks in front of lots 5, 6, I and 8
in block 81. The walks will be constructed
at the expense of the lot owners.
Alderman Moroney stated that the
stencil eminating from the packing house
and swine pens of the Wyoming Meat
company was offensive in the extreme to
the residents of the South Side during
the prevalence of a breeze from the south.
No action was taken in the matter beyond
the suggestion of a facetious member to
the effect that the meat company be COM
PEELED to construct a barb wire fence for
the purpose of combining the rank odors.
Jake Esselborn made a few remarks to
the council. He desired to be allowed to
furnish piano music. He stated hat the
instrument would be placed in the rear of
his establishment and hat he would con-
tinue to keep the usual good order which
reigned in his saloon. He was granted
special permission to begin his nightly
concerts at once and continue them so
long as they were not considered objection
able by the city marshal
The council then went into executive
session for the purpose of selecting a sue
cessor to City Engineer provinces, whose
resignation takes effect on the 9th inst.
Eight councilmen-Messrs. Whltcomb,
Draper, Murray, Hammond, Keefe, Alt
man. Griffin and Moroney balloted on
names transmitted to them by the mayor
for fully an hour. 1t began to look as
though it would be impossible to select a
successor to Mr.. provinces, when Don
Miller was confirmed Immediately after
his nomination. Mr.. Miller is a Demo-
crat and a competent civil engineer and
surveyor. He succeeds a man whose
abilities in his chosen profession are I'M
questioned. Seven names were sent to
the closed door meeting before Mr.. Miller
was rendered the appointment.
So near as could be learned by a
LEADER representative who occupied a
reserved seat in the lobby, the unsuccess-
full candidates were: W. D. Pease, j. S.
Titcomb, Ed. F. Stable, j. S. Matthews,
D. j. Durrell, Frank Bond, and ex-Sur-
veyor General Il. c. David. 1t was pre-
dicted that Mayor Riner would not uomi-
nate a Democrat, but his honor showed
his unprecedented standing by acting liber
ally in the premises. Had he so desired
he could have selected his own candidate
despite the objections of the council.

While camped on Sugar creek, some
fifteen miles from town, a woman named
McAllister, from Altoona, Pa. disap-

mile and a half from the point where she
was missed. The remains were recognized
by a ring which had the unfortunate
lady's name on the inside. 1t is up
posed that while walking around for ex-
ercise she lost her reason and wandered

unsuspecting Swede Friday night, having
b%ankiupted the foreigner by stealing a
bundle of blankets from him, was SEN

portance is about to be done. Sixteen
companies of soldiers are now at the

belief that General Dudley,
will take the field in person. Wraps
up-his-tail or Sword Bearer who leads
the refractory Crows has just returned
from the Cheyenne agency where with
fifty of his followers he went to recruit.
1t is not known how successful he was
but it is highly probable that number
of Cheyenne braves have been added to
his band. There is now a sufficient
number of troops here to prevent fur
ther outbreaks and settlers need no
longer be alarmed.
sHRoUDED IN MYSTERY.
CUSTER, MONT, Oct. 26.-SurgeOn
Hall has just left here for Fl. Custer.
A concentration of forces will probably
be made at the agency Today. 1t is
stated here that a system of earth
works and other defenSes is under con-
struction at the agency. A detach-
ment which left this point on the 2Srd
inst, marched through four inches of
snow and the thermometer registered
fifteen degrees below zero. A detach-
ment left here in the last twenty
for Fl. Custer. The agency
reports of the movement of troops are
forbidden to be sent from Fl. Custer,
having been compelled
to employ messengers to bring dis
patches from the scene of action.

CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-Hon. E. B. Wash
burn, ex-Minister to France, died at
the home of his son, Hampstead Wash
burn, in this city, at o'clock this af-
ternnOn, of congestion of the heart and
brain. Mr.. Washburn had about re-
covered from his last attack of brain
congestion, and arose this morning
feeling quite well. About o'clock, as
he was seated in the BARRIERS chair, he
was seized with a pain in the region
of the heart, so severe that he was
rendered for a time speechless. Mr..
WaShburn was assisted to bed, and
the family and physician hastily sum-
moned. His physician prescribed for
the attack, and in short time
he experienced great relief. He
rested quite easily for the remainder
of the day, the family of his son,
Hampstead, remaining at his bedside.
Shortly before O'Clock he arose with
out assistance to take drink of water,
but was almost Immediately seized
with a recurrence of the pain
at the heart, this time
more severe than before. He was
quickly assisted to the bed and restora-
apparently resting, after which he
turned his head to one side and soon
expired without giving any Indication
of further pain. After the second
seizure Mr.. Washburn never spoke.
The sudden death was a severe, and
almost an unexpected blow to his fam
lily, as his doctors had been led by the
general improvement in his condition
for the past two weeks, to believe that
he had fully recovered from
the late attack, and would be spared
several years. Mr.. Washburne's wife,
it will be remembered, died a few
months ago. He leaves five children:
Hampstead Washburne, City Attorney
of Chicago; William p. Washburne, of
Livermore, Maine; Mrs. w. D. Bishop,
Bridgeport, Conn.,; Mrs. A. H. Fowler,
Denver. Colorado; and E. B. Wash
burne, Jr., aged Is, who is now attend
ing Golden Hill School, Kingston, n.
Y. Definite arrangements for the
funeral have not yet been decided
upon. but it is believed that the serv.
ices will be held in Chicago, next Wed.
nesday, after which the body will be
taken to Galena, Illinois, and inferred
on Thursday.
